Teenagers travel in droves, packs, swarms. ... To the librarian, they're a gaggle of geese. To the cook,
they're a scourge of locusts. To department stores, they're a big beautiful exaltation of larks ... all lovely and loose and jingly.

Bernice Fitz-Gibbon
Both abundance and lack exist simultaneously in our lives, as parallel realities. It is always our conscious choice which
secret garden we will tend ... when we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that's present-love, health, family,
friends, work, the joys of nature, and personal pursuits that bring us pleasure-the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience heaven on earth.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (Mahatma Gandhi) was known as the Father of Nation played a stellar role in India's freedom struggle.
Thinker, statesman and nationalist leader, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi not only led his own country to independence
but also influenced political activists of many persuasions throughout the world with his methods and philosophy of
nonviolent confrontation, or civil disobedience.
If he had wanted, Gandhi could have lived a very comfortable life as a lawyer. Instead he devoted it to prayer,
fasting and meditation. He wore basic clothes and lived off fruit, vegetables and milk. He gave up his personal comfort
to bring well-being to millions of others. He was one of the greatest men of this planet.
(1869-1948)
